My First City Violation Cut | Overgrown Property Mowing [Neighbors Complained]
Vložit

- In this video, I will be showing you my first ever city violation cut. Upon showing up to mow the overgrown property, I quickly realized why a city violation cut was put into place.
The grass was over 2 ft high with weeds reaching over 7ft. No wonder the property owner was cited by the city for not mowing his tall grass. I also believe the neighbors all complained about the vacant lot being overgrown and an eyesore.
I knew this was going to be somewhat of a challenge on my machines. My lawn mowing skills would be put to the test. Instead of writing a long description like I usually do, I will keep it short and sweet. To follow along during this tall grass mowing video, I have added chapters to simplify what I am doing in each section. That way, fewer questions will be asked and less typing will be done by me.
Enjoy this amazing overgrown property mowing video and don't forget to watch till the end because we show you the before & after photos. Have a great day and don't ever forget to like, comment, share, and subscribe if you haven't already. 🌲🌲🌲🚜

For a City Violation cut you went “up and above” with the edging and cleaning. Fantastic job!
Thank you. Comments like these make my day 😁
the city should hire you for everything.
Really nice. What an eyesore! Was some of that grass orange? 👍👍
S
@@fillslawncare what if you saved all of the rich soil from sidewalks? Perfect potting soil to grow and sell house plants, a business or hobby.
I take my cap off to you sir. You don’t do a half-assed job. You do it perfectly. You are a man who takes pride in his work. The end result speaks to your dedication!😀🇨🇦
Thanks brother! You made my day brighter with this comment. Some morning comments putting me down...
Great job and a big thank you.
I'm a carpenter. My work is my signature. If it's good someone is going to ask who did it and if it's bad someone will ask. Either way my name is getting put on it
We need more gentleman like you in this world. You gone above and beyond! Thank you!
Thank you :)
I enjoyed watching a good man hard at work in double time; without having to suffer through the tired and stale dramatic plots and usual mindless chatter. The absence of realtime dialogue or editing narrative was much appreciated. Hopefully, other You-Tubers are watching and will want to adopt and further improve upon this groundbreaking trend in content creation.
Thank you. This comment means a lot!
I watch your channel because of your work ethics just so refreshing to see someone doing a very good job even if its free.Great Job Fill.
Thank you :)
I appreciate seeing a worker who takes pride in doing the job right. Especially when I have seen jobs where the workers do less-than-best because it was "just a violation cut."
Thank you Marcos. I try my best 👍🏼
Always blown away by the attention to detail in your work. Thanks for posting
Thank you Kyle for the kind words. Have a great day
You went above and beyond with the trimming/edging and made a hot mess look amazing. Your attention to detail never ceases to amaze me.
I'm sure that was a hard job, for you and your equipment, but you came out like a shining star on this job !
Thank you for taking pride in your work and really making that yard look good I get aggravated when other people on here do it halfway
Same here. It's all or nothing 👍🏼
Gosh this was really enjoyable to watch. Your work on this big patch of brown was simply fantastic. It didn’t matter that it was a City violation property, you gave it a premium groom. If you were my son I would be VERY proud of you! You have a wonderful work ethic and gave us all a great vid complete with trash collecting, edging, weed pulling, multiple mows and finishing touches. Standing ovation! 👏👏👏
👌💯👌💯👌
Thank you. Have a great day 👍🏼
@@fillslawncare do you have next vidrio, I am here waiting
@@addiedeguzman3201 next video will be up in a few days. Stay tuned
I Kno This May Sound Crazy But Whn You Sneezed I Said Bless You. Lol
Thank you 😄
Your the 1st person I've seen to pull the weeds. I do the same! A lot of people just weed eat them and they grow back in a week. Great job Sir! Keep it up!
Thank you 👍🏼
Yes, I noticed people just cut and edge. If it doesn’t involve an electric tool the just won’t touch it.
Never grow back and no chemicals to kill the good bugs
@@johnwright4395 Blade mate pulls weeds as well.
Same here, but pls consider the toll this puts on your back….
First class job!!! Never stopped. Would be easy for a neighbour(s) to maintain this space and improve the look of their street/corner!!!
Thank you
That lawn was pretty crusty and dry but with them edges nicely cut it makes it look like a beat up car with chrome rims 😂
Right? Haha thanks for watching
Great job on a mess. You did more than just mow. That was hard work. Thanks.
Thank you. Have a wonderful day 😊
Hi 👋 Dyana, your comments so good where are you from?
They called the right man for the job👍Your work is always exceptional!
Thank you Gail. Have a great day
THis is how it looks like,when you have done everything properly,invested your talent in this Project😍.I like the camera settings👍
Thank you. Much appreciated 👍🏼
Great work! Fun to watch the transformation! 😊
Glad to see the efficient use of a wheelbarrow and flat shovel. So many videos show too many useless steps in removing debris.
Thank you Ron. I try to grab them when I remember to
Nice job! I'm sure the neighbors appreciated it, too.
Thank you
Great job Fill, yeah you need to walk those city violation cuts real good to make sure you find all the hiding rocks and wood and all that, random trash too. You did great, only had that one rock surprise by the looks of it. Hope it didn't cause to much damage to anything.
Hey Tom thanks for the comment. Really appreciate it. Yeah these kind of lots have to be searched prior to mowing. I think that rock was playing hid and seek when I walked by it initially
@@fillslawncare , someone needs to invent a “rock catcher” for the front of mowers, kind of like a cow catcher that trains have. Great job even with hitting the rock.
Man…. When a person looks at the before and after it’s unbelievable what a difference! Such a perfectly done job. There’s not much more you could of done. You tackled the job full speed ahead! 💯😊👍
Thank you for all your comments :))
Very considerate man who cuts a totally overgrown yard and does NOT shoot the debris into the neighbor's yard. Above and beyond cut and trim!!
Thank you Marie :)
Great job! I love watching your videos because you are meticulous -- even the road was left clean.
Thank you for watching 🙂
I agree. My OCD is satisfied.
Don't forget to hit the like button and make a comment. Doing those 2 things will help the video tremendously 👍🏼 Have a nice day my friend
You might want to explain to viewers that subscribing does not mean they are liable to pay for anything. I always thought that by subscribing I would be charged.
I too think your work ethic, stamina and detail to everything is outstanding.
Well done, as always! As a new subscriber, looking forward to continued high quality content. Enjoy seeing a professional who does it right the first time around! I always say “ There are 2 ways to do things. The right way or again “.
Thank you Wesley :)
Never thought watching grass get cut would be so enjoyable
That wheel-barrow is very handy. I almost never see weed pulling....awesome!
Thank you Suzanne. Means alot!
That was freaking awesome, There are so many neighborhoods that have areas like this and it drives me crazy that the city neglects them... Bravo
Thank you
You my friend are a darn wizard! The transformations you do on these yards are impeccable! you should be receiving your letter to Hogwarts any day!! Lol. I love your videos and now I'm a fan (I subscribed❤) keep up the amazing and awesome job and don't ever let the haters get you down because you are truly a gift from God! Stay safe and blessed❤☺
Thank you for the encouraging words Michelle! God bless
Who else was hoping that he mowed that strip in the alley? 21:53 nice staining job! :-) Fantastic mowing job!!
I watched you and compared to others, you do a fantastic job. I can see you take pride in all aspects of cutting, trimming and edging the grass. I also like that you bag the grass. Great job 👏🏽
Superb work! You cut that yard as if it was a actual home sitting there. BRAVO!!!👍💪
Thank you Rose. Have a nice day 😊
Fill, you definitely improved the neighborhood house values! That sidewalk was a nightmare that you totally conquered. Great work.
Thank you Rita have a great day 👍🏼
Just think what the people that drive by that lot daily will think. I bet "city violation cut" doesn't come to mind.
Sure the neighbors are doing a Happy dance' because of your work 👍🇨🇦
I was so surprised at the transformation, that I watched this twice, good job
Wow haha never heard anyone say that. Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it
Alway very satisfying watching these videos! You always do an awesome job! Why would anyone complain when your making something look a 100 times better! Wish people would appreciate the hard working man! Great job again!!!❤️🇨🇦
Thank you Maria 👍🏼
If you read the description box … no one complained about him cleaning it up…. the neighbours complained about the high grass in the vacant lot 😊😊😊😊😊
Hard to believe that was ever an actual lawn. But you made it look great! 👍🏻
Nearly 500 comments. Somebody is doing something right. Super job. Thanks for caring.
I laughed when you hit the rock thinking it was the same one you just kicked aside at the beginning of the video.😜
This was THE best video. I like the way you work. Very methodical. Looking forward to more.
Thank you Connie 😊
@@fillslawncare they are complaining because they can't accept the fact that why other kindhearted people like you is doing the mowing and cleaning instead of them
The edging….😳😍🔥🙌🏻
Oh, Bless you! 🤧
Thank you!
Hi 👋 Deb, your comments so good where are you from?
I’ve watched a lot of your videos but this one was really satisfying to watch. It showed your dedication and it was really nice to look at after you finished. Thank you for sharing this video Fill.
I agree!! Wow!! you went WAY ABOVE & BEYOND with ALL of the edging & the MOWING!! UP & BACK & AROUND WITH THAT MOWER!! The city SHOULD hire you for sure!!!
Hi, Fill you do it again, awesome job. Even the government is satisfy the way you clean the project. I enjoy watching you since the beginning of you channel. Take Care.
As mentioned before you went above and beyond….I’m sure the neighbors appreciated it
I wonder how many of us said "God bless you" when you sneezed at 17:40?? Nice work.👏👏👏👏👏
Probably alot haha one of humans habits
As a new person to your TikTok posts I had to come see the long version. You sir are definitely someone that’s not afraid of hard work.
You do a great job iam proud of you
Great edges!You made the neighbours very happy.
Thank you!
Awesome job. It looked like a field of weeds. So so much better after.
Thank you Jane 🙂
Hi 👋 Jane, your comments so good where are you from?
Boy you gave that yard a fresh line up!!!! Perfect
Thank you!
Thanks for posting. You have no idea how satisfying this video is. You are one of the best I’ve seen on YT
Thank you. Your comment mean alot!
Great video and phenomenal job on that property.
Those were some really rugged weeds.I think I saw a few of them give your mower deck the finger,lol !
Keep up the good work
It's saddening when the only green you can see are the weeds. Hopefully there is still some living grass under there. Good job on making that plot look presentable again.
There might be some grass if it gets watered and weeds get treated. Worth a shot right?
Yeah the shovel and hang pulling on the road edge was a good choice, lol. Those weeds looked gnarly
Yeah they were tough! Thanks for watching 👍🏼
You are so organized and meticulous! I wouldn't even know where to begin!!
1. Amazing job! Neighbors should be calling you for jobs because empty lots are putting their yards to shame.
2. Thank you for your job on the sidewalk and gutters! They are the first impressions of a homeowner and many people enjoy telling their neighbors that they are lazy dirty pigs!
Thanks for sharing and watching
I'm glad to see you putting in the work. Someday an empty lot property owner will reward you for your hard work. I don't do contracts for the city, but I will do a property owner that's in violation. More money.
Thanks for sharing and watching James. Have a great day 👍🏼
What a mess, stickery weeds, way overgrown over sidewalks (which are very attractive walks) & dried out grass, trash & rocks, what a combination! You really had a challenge & met It!
Thank you Sunny 👍🏼
Sir, you have the soul of a garderner.It has been delightful to see you work.
Thank you :)
Extreme professional outcome especially for a Violation Cut. I sure hope you got a maintenance contract from the owner...if not then they don't deserve you.
Stay safe and God Bless from Texas.
Thank you Oran. Have a great day 👍🏼
Great job!!!! Cleaning and edging the sidewalk was so satisfying.
Thank you!
I found your channel yesterday. And I love it. What an amazing good job you are doing! I am so impressed.
And the fact that you often does it for free, just as perfect, makes me say wow.
Your city is so lucky to have you.
And as a viewer I am so happy to have found your channel.
It is so satisfiqueing to see the mess become so neat and tidy.
I do not care if it is grass, trees or something else. I love it.
Would be a great lot for a neighbor garden co-OP. Excellent job Fill.
Just watching what you did, starting on the sidewalk, you were doing a "high class" job. There is a view that a crisis cleanup may only deserve a minimum amount of time. That is potential but it does not necessarily restore hope of a place becoming viable or restore the morale of the neighborhood. You were going "above and beyond" and the look of being well cared for, even to the street gutter, was there. Sorry you hit a rock, even after your survey of the property of garbage and junk. Other that the visual improvement, people have mentioned that a clean lot is a reduced fire risk, is not a place breeding mosquitoes or hiding ticks, and mice, rats, raccoons and such are out of a hiding place. Overall the cleanups are important for the whole area. Nice job and good before and after photos.
Thank you Robert. Have a great day 👍🏼
Well produced video! Great work ethic and outstanding attention to detail!
Thank you Paul. God bless
Fist time watching you and by far you are the best. One thing, don;t leave your tools on the sidewalk, you never know who will be tempted. You are very young, wear a face mask because all that dust is not good for you. I know from experience. I am 77 yrs old and do all my yard work and you do it the correct way.
One standard for every job,immaculate tools make the job as easy as possible for you ,great add for your skills.
Well done, You! I like the way you did it in stages. The yard looks so much better.
Thank you. Have a nice day 👍🏼
So relaxing to watch you work. As always, a first class job done with professional care
Thank you Paul 👍🏼
I have recently subscribed and I am loving your videos. No nonsense just lawn care.
I hope that the YT channel helps cover some of the costs for your free and donated work.
Your work ethics are above and beyond! I enjoy your videos so much because no matter how tedious a yard or a lot can be you give it a very professional transformation! The city should hire you to do all empty lots and county office buildings due to the magnificent job you do. Thanks for another fantastic video and God Bless you and your family!
For some reason there always has to be those few who just have to criticize no matter what! Maybe it’s because I’m older, but I don’t feel the need to tell you what I would’ve done or what you should’ve done. Those things are better left unsaid. I think you did an amazing job on that weed infested lot and it looks 100% better now that you have worked on it! Keep on doing what you do! You are great!
Thank you Julee. I really appreciate you saying that. Have a nice day 👍🏼
Very true Julee.
I also feel like those select few also believe he could spend his entire day at 1 site and get by. Time is money.
That said, I am glad he doesnt sacrifice quality to get done a bit faster. I think his work is solid. I do my own yard, but if I was not able to do so, I would be happy to hire someone to do that well.
@@noahblevins9569 thank you Noah
I wonder if the owner is elderly. If so why didn’t the neighbors help that person out and cut it for them.it would be a lot better then complaining to the city. People just want to complain instead of helping now a days. Thank you for doing what you do.
@@karenminckler4198 You are 100% correct. A person on need is a friend waiting to be made. People dont see that.
But to be fair, we do not know what situation the neighbors are in themselves. I doubt they are all in a bad spot and unable to help though.
You are an angel for cleaning up these properties ... All the best to you! Pretty amazing that some of the weeds were so tall and tough they would not chop up ... lol
Yeah even with sharp blades, they were giving me trouble. Thanks for watching 👍🏼
You are perfect for my OCD!! Your work ethic is superb!! Thank you 🙏🏼
You are very thorough. Excellent job and you should be proud of yourself for helping others.👍👌😎
Tough job but you made the yard look great!
Thank you Rex 👍🏼
you must be on the west coast with all that smoke in the air Hello from Northern California Good job on the lot no more violations to be had lol
Spokane, WA
It's clearing out slowly here
You should be commended for always going above and beyond! Great work ethic.
You are one hard working young man. Perfection.
Wow! That was quit a challenge but we’ll down Fill! I’d taken those big rocks home and used them in my landscaping! 👍🏻😁
Thank you Nancy. Have a great day 👍🏼
That came out great!
Thank you Larry
I've watched your video a couple of times. Still impressed. Your edging is top notch.
Pride in what you do great job love watching all your videos great job again
I just subscribe and you're the only lawn care channel on my list. You're really the best. Keep up the good work!
He is the best 🌺🌺🌺
What a superb job you made of this , i hope you are proud . It often makes me wonder why when neighbours complain that they dont think to themselves lets get together and clear this up ?
I have tried. Then you get trespassing, et al.
25:15 Giddy Up!
You always do a very good work and leave it looking beautiful I just love how you care young man GOD bless and keep you in HIS most powerful hands nds later
I have just discovered you and am thankful that I did. One thing is important in Life: Character and you have it, as well as Professional Results in Daily Efforts (PRIDE). Terrific work!!!
when I did City Violation cuts years ago. I did similar things you do. except didnt really use edger that much. I used just string trimmer to make it look nicer. but one thing I always did was. after was done. if there was a sidewalk or around fire hydrate I always had weed and grass killer. so I would spray that around the fire hydrate, then just on the sidewalk part that was near the road and where the road met with the sidewalk or where the road meets with the nature strip. i would spray that area with the weed and grass killer.
Very thorough job!
Thank you Cherie
Great job, Phil…..above and beyond as usual
Great job.They complained that when you finished the garden was better than theirs.
This is so relaxing to watch at night keep it going!
Thank you!
You did a great job on this properly thank you.
Well done young man. Keep up the strong effort.
I enjoy watching your work.
Amazing transformation and your Hustler got to pretend he was a brush hog today!
Right? Haha thanks
Wow tge word "lawn" is certainly bring used loosely here 😂 great job at knocking that weedfest back into something resembling a neat lawn!! 👍 Edging was very satisfying!
Thank you E b much appreciated 👍🏼
Great work. Looks so much better. Well done.
Thank you 👍🏼
Man! What a phenomenal job! This lot looks so much better and the neighborhood is pleased.
